5 out of 5 starsThe most amazing jeweller I have ever come across. Dawn and Missy go to every effort to make sure your purchase is exactly what you want, communication is amazingly responsive, even when I'm based in the UK. I cannot thank you enough for my beautiful rings

5 out of 5 starsLove the work Dawn did with this, she took all my concerns into account and managed my anxiety over the whole process as well, which was more than she needed to do. Really excellent person and jeweller, can't recommend highly enough.

5 out of 5 starsDawn did an INCREDIBLE job creating my wedding ring. I had an idea to modify her ring guard, and she was completely receptive and excited about the design. I truthfully cannot say enough wonderful things about Dawn, her team, and the jewelry she makes!

About the Artist...Dawn
I'm Dawn, and I love what I do!
I express myself & my personality through my love of sculpting and designing! We all start somewhere to end up where we are and where we want to be.
I'm was born and raise in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. I currently live in Huntersville, NC. Not to far from Lake Norman. The area is beautiful and growing fast! I am very close to my family, as most all still live near by.
This isn't a resume so I'm not going to start at the very beginning of how I got to where I am, but I have been through a lot of growth, business and the ups and downs that come with it.
In 2011 I decided to really put my passion for designing and sculpting to work for me. What started out as a hobby, quickly became a business. I took my new designs of bracelets, rings & earrings on the road with me to show and sell at art festivals, art shows and Artisan markets. I developed a nice following and did custom designs for the people that followed my work.
I then decided to branch out and put myself online, so I joined Etsy.com
I started out with one of a kind sterling silver bracelets, rings and necklaces. As time went on, I learned more techniques, learned about raw diamonds and gemstones. These unique raw materials fascinated me!
The raw rough uncut natural diamond twig engagement ring quickly became my most popular design and still is.
As business started to grow, I needed extra hands on deck. I hired my daughter, Missy. Missy quickly became my right hand man when it came to working with customers, marketing and keeping everything running so I can do what I do best, design, sculpt and create new products!
I love what I do! I love to create and talk with customers. Our customers share their proposals stories, their wedding & anniversary photos with us all the time! It's the best feeling in the world to make something that is a part of their special occasion.
I am introducing new gemstones, moissanite diamond and hand crafted designs all the time! I hope you enjoy the designs I am so passionate about and I hope I can create something special for you!
Thank you for stopping by to get a little glimpse into my little design world!
